Remember seeing this guy, Mr. Butternut, in the blog a few days ago? Well, this past weekend, I peeled and chopped Mr. Butternut, and stored him in tupperware until tonight, so I was able to get down to business as soon as dinnertime rolled around tonight.

You may remember recently reading about my first attempt at cooking an Indian-inspired dish (if you haven’t yet, you can check it out here), when I made a recipe from the winner of the Next Food Network Star, Aarti Sequeira.

I was in the mood for some Broccoli and Cheese Soup with a bit of a kick to it, and followed the lead by selecting … Continue reading

Quick update!: S’mores!
Soup is one of my favorite things to make! Creamy soups, and hearty stews, and thick, rich sauces. In fact, recently there was a standing joke in our house that I was going to begin a new career as a saucier. There’s really just something so utterly satisfying about making sauces and soups.
